Schizosaccharomyces pombe - Wikipedia
WEBSchizosaccharomyces pombe, also called "fission yeast", is a species of yeast used in traditional brewing and as a model organism in molecular and cell biology. It is a unicellular eukaryote, whose cells are rod-shaped. Cells typically measure 3 to 4 micrometres in diameter and 7 to 14 micrometres in length.

Fission Yeast - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
WEBFission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, is an excellent model system for analysis of target of rapamycin (TOR). Fission yeast has Tor1 and Tor2 (homologs of mTOR), Tsc1 and Tsc2 (homologs of mammalian TSC1 and TSC2, respectively), and Rhb1 (a homolog of mammalian Rheb) proteins.

Fission Yeast - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
WEBSchizosaccharomyces pombe, or fission yeast, is an archaeascomycete that is evolutionarily remote from budding yeast (approximately 10 9 years separation) (Heckman et al., 2001). While the genomes are similar in size (13.8 Mb for S. pombe , 12.1 Mb for Saccharomyces cerevisiae ), they are neither related nor syntenic.
